First Pick Planning

e trust in her to execute our vision and make every effort to make our wedding day the best day. From a logistical perspective, Ashley excels. From making the day of schedule, to vendor coordination, to providing insights for things you might not have thought about - she has every detail covered. So many of our other vendors commented on how amazing their interactions with her was and how on top of everything she was, which enabled them all to work together without any issues or delays. Beyond the logistics, Ashley went above and beyond and helped us manage and stay present in our wedding day even when there were difficulties we faced. She would just appear by our sides with a drink and a smile and ask if we needed a moment away! There are so many moments I'm thankful when I reflect on our wedding day, but Ashley taking care of us not only from a logistical perspective, but also from an emotional perspective was something I will always be immensely thankful for. As a type A person, Ashley made me a very chill bride - I knew we + our wedding was in the most capable hands! We are so grateful for everything she has done for us, and I hope that you give her every opportunity to make your wedding day just as special!

ctly and we enjoyed the whole day, but I’m sure she did a bunch of stuff behind the scenes, both before and during the day that we don’t know about. Ashley is the most knowledgeable person we have ever met and every vendor we worked with knew her and obviously highly respected her and enjoyed working with her. Her attention to detail, organization, knowledge of the industry and forethought is unmatched. She was so helpful the entire process and is obviously a top-tier professional. For example, our venue had ugly chairs and so we planned to get outside chairs. Ashley provided us with a vendor recommendation and discount code, but urged us to wait as she heard our venue was in the process of getting new chairs that would match our aesthetic. We trusted her and the month before our wedding, the venue had acquired the chairs and we were able to use those. Ashley knew that the chairs were available for our wedding before our venue coordinator knew they were confirmed! During the wedding day, Ashley was a bright and calming presence, checking in on us, reminding us that this was our day and nothing could happen without us. We needed an extra moment before our first dance and she happily obliged, reminding us that this was our party and we should enjoy it! Ashley is your #1 cheerleader and just wants to ensure that you have the best wedding day for yourself. She also did a million little, kind things for us such as having a drink for us after the ceremony, helping the mother of the groom pack her car with extra desserts, and rewriting our guest book sign as both my spouse and I have horrible handwriting. Our family situations are complicated, and although things went smoothly during the wedding, Ashley was ready to keep the peace in whatever way was needed. Ashley fights for her couples and knows exactly what they need. During the wedding, our DJ played the wrong walkdown song. Ashley recognized that and was able to get him to seamlessly switch to the correct song, all in realtime without any of our guests realizing. My grandmother has mobility issues and Ashley ensured that she had easy access in/out of the venue, showed my grandmother her exact seat and ensured she had everything she needed. I was told she even got a venue staff member to hold a flashlight for my grandmother when she exited, lighting up the ramp. If you want your wedding to be enjoyable and perfect, hire Ashley. She is truly the best!

experience throughout the entire process. From the get-go we worked together to craft a seamless minute-by-minute day of plan that could not have been executed better. The ease of myself only needing to worry about getting my hair and makeup done on the morning of my wedding, while Ashley managed all of our vendors and ensured they delivered on their items and set up our venue accordingly, was a dream. I could not recommend Jen and Ashley more. Even throughout our wedding, we had several guests come up to my husband and I to compliment Ashley as well. And truth be told, following our wedding I already miss working with them! They are truly the best and for anyone else we know to get married, we will always recommend them!

service that we received. We started working with Ashley about a month out from our wedding day, and from that point, she not only took over all the communication with our vendors but also helped us create to a flawless timeline that both met our desires (to enjoy our cocktail hour, actually eat dinner, etc.) and logistically worked out with the elements we wanted in our day. Throughout this month of planning process, Ashley was incredibly responsive and helpful with last minute decision-making. When it came to the day-of, I cannot praise Ashley and the team enough. Our event went off without a hitch and I did not have a worry in my mind the whole day. We had some complicated music asks for our ceremony and a TON of personal decor to setup, and Ashley and her team executed it all without hesitation. She even went above and beyond to bring us appetizers & drinks throughout the event, helped my mom bustle my dress, went up to our room to get us things that we forgot during the reception, packed all of our decor back into my parents hotel room at the end of the night, and countless other remarkable acts that were completely above and beyond what we expected. We also just had the best time working with her day of, as she was so positive, so fun to be around, and had the most can-do attitude ever. We can't praise Ashley and her team enough for the phenomenal day she helped create for us. Thank you FPP!
